I put the entirety of it towards my student loans. Almost fully paid off at this point. Money that I didn’t have before means that I don’t need it right now. Can’t wait to use my next one for myself/investments

I generally pay tithes on 10%, invest the maximum of 50% in my 401K, pay bills (including 1 extra month of a mortgage pmt.) and enjoy the remainder of it. If you contribute a portion to a 401K plan, this will decrease the amount of your monthly contributions (%) that you will have to pay over the remainder of the year to meet your quota. Also, if you have a mortgage, this will help to pay off your bill quicker than the normal amortization.

A little bit of both. I get myself something nice and go out to a nice dinner with my partner. The rest goes towards paying off debt and savings account.

Sadly, almost all of it is going toward bills. I am keeping a small amount aside to treat myself with a massage, though. I at least deserve that.
